Chapter 502: Another Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart, Just A Game
Chu Kuangren flashed amused looks at the few swordsmen in front of him. “Such colorful costumes… People would’ve genuinely thought that you guys are cosplaying the Power Rangers.”
Power Rangers?
What did that mean?
The Seven-colored Swordsmen were a little confused.
However, they quickly tossed that thought aside and focused their gaze onto Chu Kuangren. The Red Swordsman said, “You must be the mysterious man that the Zhang clan mentioned. They described a light beam that descended from the sky. If I’m not mistaken, you must be a sky-pride from the outside world.”
The Red Swordsman had good knowledge of things. Hence, he was able to tell with one look where Chu Kuangren came from.
“Not a bad guess.”
“Indeed, a lot of outside world sky-prides have come here to compete for the Emperor’s Throne recently. I wonder which orthodoxy you’re from?”
“That’s none of your business.”
“I noticed a sword strapped to your waist, so I reckon you’re a swordsman as well. In the Nine Heavens, the orthodoxy that is most notable for their swordsmanship skills is the Dugu clan. Are you from the Dugu clan?”
“Wrong guess.”
“You’re not from the Dugu clan?” The Red Swordsman furrowed his brows, but he stopped dwelling on it after a moment. Regardless, he must return with that Divine Emerald Lamp today.
He drew out the red longsword that was strapped to his waist and commanded, “I don’t care which orthodoxy you’re from, hand out the Divine Emerald Lamp, or die!!”
“I’d like to see you try.” With his finger, Chu Kuangren signaled his opponent to come closer.
“I’ll have a taste of your elite swordsmanship skills then!”
The Red Swordsman stared back at him and immediately launched his first strike. As soon as his sword swung out, a red sword ray shot out along with a blazing flame!
This was one of the Sword Tribe’s very own unique techniques, Blazing Flame Sword Art!
It was also an Emperor Technique. Only a small portion of Sword Tribe’s sky-prides and those above Sage’s level were able to cultivate this.
“Palm of Sorrow!”
With a lift of Chu Kuangren’s arm, an overwhelming sense of damnation spread outward.
He then struck out his palm, and a terrifying strength qi quickly engulfed the whole place, smothering that blazing sword qi effortlessly.
The Red Swordsman’s expression changed when the strength qi hit his body. He held his sword and fought it off valiantly, but that incredible power was hard to fend off even for a Seven-Step Sage Ruler like him. As such, the sheer energy blasted him several hundred meters backward, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
“This power… The ability to manipulate the seven emotions. Don’t tell me you’re from the Seven Emotions Sect?!”
The Seven Emotions Sect was a mysterious orthodoxy from the Nine Heavens, and they had their camps here on Emperor Road too.
They were most well known for their abilities to control people’s emotions.
“Oh, why don’t you give it another guess?”
Chu Kuangren smiled gently and then raised his arm once again. Immense Buddhist Light transcended, forming a thousand-meter-tall ancient Buddha, and Brahmic Chimes resounded from the horizon.
The stern-looking ancient Buddha slowly struck out its palm.
“No way!!”
“How is it possible for one to have such power?!”
The remaining six swordsmen looked astounded.
They quickly intercepted and came before the Red Swordsman. Six longswords rapidly swung out, intertwining to form a giant sword net.
In a flash, an explosion occurred!
The collision with the sword qi and Buddhist Light formed a violent gust of wind that spread all over the place and destroyed the surrounding buildings one by one.
This left Wu Clan Head and the others scrambling for their safety!
All they saw was the sword net, which was formed by six types of sword qi, getting torn apart by that ancient Buddha’s palm.
After that, this palm landed on the six swordsmen’s bodies. Even though each of them only sustained a portion of that power, they were still hurled backward with their faces drained pale.
“Buddhist Light… Are you from the Putuo Temple?”
One of the swordsmen muttered with terror. The power that he showcased was indeed too horrifying.
In just two moves, Chu Kuangren had crushed the Seven-colored Swordsmen.
“Putuo Temple? Do I look like someone who is a vegetarian and chants the mantra?” Chu Kuangren said with an amused smile.
“If you’re not from the Dugu clan, Seven Emotions Sect, or Putuo Temple, then which freaking Nine Heavens orthodoxy are you from?!”
The Red Swordsmen questioned him in disbelief.
This was a man who not only had several distinct Emperor Techniques but had even mastered all those techniques wholly. This was incredibly scary.
“Such an appalling strength. This guy has got to be an outlawed sky-pride!”
The Yellow Swordsman could not help but exclaim in disbelief as well.
“We’re not at his level!”
“Let’s leave!”
Seeing that things were not going their way, the swordsmen attempted to flee. They combined their strengths and released a sword qi each. Seven sword qi interweaved in the air, forming a multicolored sword qi torrent, and a terrifying power erupted from seven distinctly unique Sword-based Daoist Rhymes. This attack was already as mighty as a Boundary Emperor.
Still, Chu Kuangren remained composed. He slightly lifted his arm, where mysterious runes began to crisscross and form a runic barrier in front of him.
The runic barrier immediately exploded upon contact with the sword qi, causing Wu Clan’s entire ground to crumble inward and form a gigantic crater.
Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren stood in the very middle of the crater with runes surrounding him. He appeared unscathed!
“Runic energy… Is he one of those fellas from the Runic Lands?”
The Red Swordsman mumbled to himself in shock.
This young man in front of him was indeed too mysterious. The moves that he had up his sleeves were so strong yet unfathomable.
“Phew. At least I made it out.”
The Yellow Swordsman thought to himself.
They did not all escape in the same direction. In fact, they scurried in seven different directions respectively. So even if their opponent was a Boundary Emperor, he would not be able to catch them all.
“Is this your only escape plan? Don’t you think you’re a bit too foolish?”
Chu Kuangren looked as though he had read through the swordsmen’s mind, and a wicked grin etched on the corner of his lip.
An incredibly majestic Sword-based Daoist Rhyme erupted from his body.
Immediately after, sword qi shot skyward, turning into twelve indwelling sword qi pillars that connected the ground to the sky.
It was one of the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart’s Daoist Transformations, the Nine Heaven Sword Prison!
The few swordsmen had noticed this Daoist Transformation too, and they were utterly astonished!
“Nine Heaven Sword Prison! I can’t believe I’m seeing this. He has the same physique as Master Daoist, the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart!!”
“How is that possible?!”
The Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart was a Supreme Daoist Physique, and there had been very rare instances of it since the beginning of time.
Yet, they now had two of these co-existing in the same era!!
The Seven-colored Swordsmen were at a loss for words.
Somewhere far away, over a billion kilometers out, at a mountaintop that looked like a divine sword.
A young man abruptly opened his eyes. Purple sword qi flashed across both his eyes, and extremely sharp qi emanated.
“Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart!!”
“There’s another Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart! Who is it? Who has the same Supreme Daoist Physique as I do?!”
An ice-cold murderous intent shot out from the young man’s eyes.
Only one could Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart in this world.
Similarly, only one man could stand at the top of this world.
“That direction is… Stone City?! Could this be the same thing that the Seven-colored Swordsmen were sent to deal with?!”
The young man mumbled.
…
At this moment, in the Wu clan.
The Seven-colored Swordsmen were utterly stunned when they saw Chu Kuangren displaying the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart. This was more shocking to them than his consecutive Emperor Techniques.
Chu Kuangren had heard what these swordsmen had said too.
“Oh, they were commenting about my Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart. Is there another Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart on Emperor Road? That would be quite a coincidence.”
Chu Kuangren said with a smile.
Twelve sword qi pillars locked down onto the whole place as petrifying sword qi formed a prison, rendering the Seven-colored Swordsmen no chance to escape.
“Alright. I should stop toying with you guys. It’s about time to end our little game now.”
Game?!
The crowd could not help but feel goosebumps at Chu Kuangren’s words.
After all, these Seven-colored Swordsmen were all top-notch Sage Rulers.
